My deepest sympathy to you in this time of loss and sadness. Rudy bought a few cars for Loretta from me while I was employed at Stockman Ford, and I think a pickup for himself. What I want you to know is that he always liked to have some fun and joke around during his purchase. It was always fun to see him walk in the door with a big smile and a hearty laugh and usually time for a cup of coffee. I just wanted you to know that even to his auto sales consultant he was a special person. Loretta, I remember you so fondly from ladies golf nite. My prayers are with you and your family as you make your way thru this difficult time! My prayers are that you will find comfort in the many years of happy memories that you have! May the peace and comfort of our Lord be with you. Always, Kelly Blomberg

Loretta and Family, I am so so sorry for the loss of a kind and dear man. What a sweet face uncle Rudy had. My childhood memories of him are always with a slight smile trying to happen at the corner of his mouth. His quite almost shy manner. His patience and kindness. Although I haven't known him in the most recent years he will be missed here and remembered as a most wonderful man. Loving thoughts and prayers for you all.Ellen
